Response from Елена Еленкова[+++++]
Dear Vlad, I heard from my friend, a historian, a professor who taught at Moscow State University (unfortunately, he died recently of a stroke), a wonderful and interesting man who was, I heard an amazing but very similar to the truth version of the origin of this word. On the Great Volok on the way from the Varangians to the Greeks, through which ships were dragged from the northern river system to the south and back in the center of Russia, lived people, who were called so - Volochane, see the geographic name of a fairly large townVyshny Volochok and several similar small. For the ferrying of a vessel through their territory Velikiy Volok, the Volochans or people of the Volok Shorok Volochi lived there, took a duty at the outposts along the Volok and kept a strong guard for that purpose. Of course, merchants did not like it and they accordingly spread throughout Russia the news that the people of Voloki living on Volok are not nice and swore at them with the last words. So the swear word "bastard" settled and spread throughout Russia, and even the singular form "bastard" was invented. Here is such an interesting, and quite plausible, historical version of the origin of this unusual word. Good day to you. Prof. Glazunov V?
Dear Vlad! From my friend - a historian professor who taught at Moscow State University, unfortunately, he recently died of a stroke remarkable and interesting was a man I heard an amazing but very similar to the truth version of the origin of this word. On the Great Volok on the way from the Varangians to the Greeks through which dragged the ships from the northern river system to the south and back in the center of Russia lived people who were called so - Volochane, see geographic name of a fairly large town Vyshny Volochok and several similar small. For the transportation of the ship through their territory Velikiy Volok who lived there Volochans or people from Volok Shorok Volochi took a duty at the outposts along the Volok and kept a strong guard for that purpose. Of course, merchants did not like it and they accordingly spread throughout Russia the news that the people of Voloki are not nice and swore at them with the last words. That is how the swear word bastard spread throughout Rus', and even the singular form bastard was invented. Here is such an interesting and quite plausible historical version of the origin of this unusual word. Good day to you. Prof. Glazunov V.
You were told bastard from the word "bastard"! And what can be swiped except garbage and fallen matter!
Bastard are those who are such bastards that you can't find such bastards among bastards!
I read that it was the name of a footman who took off the lord's boots and maybe something else. Then my guesses imho, right:-D: then it probably became, swearing, saying, who am I and who are you - a servant, a footman, a bastard. Or: you're only fit to be a bastard.
Bastard is the trash that was swept up around the house and dumped in one place before it was thrown out The lackeys had nothing to do with it. J.D.A.L.K.E.R.A.M. Hello!
I had a kid in high school who used to say "bastard", his favorite person. I know it's wrong, but it's funny.
"My favorite person." How's that?
I already answered two.
